More About Engineering


Engineering came from the Latin word ingeniare. Ingeniare means to design or create. Engineers try to design or create new products, structures, and machines by using already available resources, and resources they themselves created.


Specialized engineering developed around 1750. Before then it used to be all buildings, roads, bridges, canals, or weapons! As more knowledge about science and math was gained, specialized branches of engineering were created. This happened around the 1700's and 1800's. Now that there are more branches, engineers work more closely together.
